Liberal Fascism
Yes correct liberalism is the left wing of fascism
liberals are fascist
yeah its wild how, in the global context, western libs and right wingers are barely distinguishable bloodthirsty imperialists, mostly owing to their shared forebears, from which marxists stand apart. thats what you mean right?
Mussolini was an anarchist
I’ve straight up gotten the “Mussolini was a socialist” talking point in the wild before and it was maddening. Like are you being intentionally obtuse about him later denouncing socialism and founding the fascist party or do you just think those are the same thing anyway?
He was literally kicked out of the Socialist party for his nationalist bullshit!
It doesn't matter to chuds, they have a whole media ecosystem that re-writes history to claim [bad thing] is Marxist, and also somehow tied to the democrats.
Reminds me of when my mom's boyfriend forced us to go buy a book about climate change denial and wanted us all to read it but when we got to books-a-million (libraries are liberal brainwashing institutions), he got distracted by sports magazines and read those and I ended up reading a people's history of the united states.
As grotesque as they are now in the mask off period, I do not miss the era the fascists spent doing the "Nooo, I'm not a fascist teehee, fascism is bad , maybe you're the fascist for thinking that
" routine
sometimes I pretend to be one of those and I type in a purposefully obsolete outdated way to net myself extra downvotes
just doin my part
Give them this instead
I'm so sorry comrade
Saw this at my folks’ house, apparently my dad’s Sunday School men’s group is going through it. I skimmed it, kinda boring honestly just your basic red-baiting of democrats. I wanted to argue with him about it but my dad is such a political dumbass it would like arguing with a dog.
but my dad is such a political dumbass it would like arguing with a dog.
What an insult to dogs! It's probably more like arguing with a brick wall
I could swore that book was written by Glenn Beck, but lo and behold my memory was wrong and he had a much more interesting book
Also when I was young my dad bought this book and made me read it, among other radio reactionary shock jokey shite books.
I think the only book I can actually remember anything about was Mark Levine's book about his rescue dog he adopted and how after only a few weeks the dog suffered severe medical issues that lead to two years of the dog slowly dying and the memories mark and his family had with him during that time. It's funny how the least political shit stuck with me and everything else didn't stick
this book reminds me about all the "small government" talk that was so big from reagan until around 2018 that has almost died out now that it has been exposed to be an absolute sham
why is the fascist moron in the picture wearing a modified west-german air force uniform?
also
ayaguing with idiots
Because he's an evangelical fascist that was one of the precurser Banner-Heralds to the contemporary American reactionary movement and had to put on theatrical shows to entertain and woo the hogs to adopting his ideology on Fox News.
Is that Glenn Beck himself on the cover? "I'm going to dress up like a commie! That'll own the libs!"
Why is the r backwards? Some dogwhistle i haven't heard (wakka wakka)?
i think it's just meant to evoke an autonomic fear response to anything vaguely soviet in people conditioned by decades of anti-communist propaganda
Ahhh, i get it, thanks. It "makes sense" to the vibes-based boomer neurons lol
Probably a jab at the Russians.
Somehow making just one of the letters faux Cyrillic bothers me more than making the whole text faux Cyrillic.
Yes it's just so aggressively stupid in some kinda way that gets my jimmies flutterin
you should get them a copy of this book. and just straight up blow their minds. or at least piss them off if they make it far enough to understand what the words in the title actually mean.
Not the Charles Murray inscription
I had a super-quickie look at Jonah Goldberg's Wikipedia page. It seemed pretty tedious and I was about to close the tab when I saw something out of the corner of my eye...
Clinton–Lewinsky scandal
Goldberg's mother Lucianne Goldberg was involved in the Clinton–Lewinsky scandal as detailed in The New Yorker. Goldberg has spoken of his mother and the Lewinsky scandal:
My mother was the one who advised Linda Tripp to record her conversations with Monica Lewinsky and to save the dress. I was privy to some of that stuff, and when the administration set about to destroy Lewinsky, Tripp, and my mom, I defended my mom and by extension Tripp ... I have zero desire to have those arguments again. I did my bit in the trenches of Clinton's trousers.
These tapes became the focal point of the Lewinsky scandal.
Do they go to half priced books often? I've seen this book all the time there. Their political section is possibly the worst collection of books I've ever seen. Just the chuddiest shit imaginable
they're also virulent union busters, fun fact.
If it weren't written by chuds, it could be a good book about how liberalism is the seed from which fascism sprouts and how libs historically aided and abetted fascists.
If it's any consolation, no one actually reads those books. They're just a way for conservatives to show that they belong to the in group.
You could release a book like this that says something like "From Stalin to Obama to Biden; The left's damage to history" and just have the whole thing be Lorem Ipsum and no one would notice.
Is this "horseshoe theory"-the book?
worse, its "fascism is and was left wing"
Funny how only "centrists" say this shit. Nazis know they're right wing.
Centrists help keep libs ignorant and docile, ready to help fascists
I know Slate is cringe, but they did a decent if lib review of this book https://slate.com/culture/2008/01/jonah-goldberg-s-liberal-fascism.html
